Whilst I thoroughly enjoy looking at other "designer" gardens..... My own un-professional,organic "heavenly retreat" is the desire of my heart. My ordinary purple foxgloves, my slightly over-exuberant welch poppies and my beautiful naturalized aquilegia are my idea of heaven .... Don't be disheartened! Chelsea is nice for ideas and introductions but for REAL gardens ... look at your own garden of eden !
I bought some allium plants from garden centre 2years ago, they have done brillaintly and have spread this yr , I have heavy (and I mean heavy) clay with peat soil (forrestry area), they are in full sun in the afternoon but think theyd do ok in shadey ish area too. I have a huge clump of chives nearby (mini alliums as you see them together). Give them a go .
I don't understand this magazine advercating cutting daff leaves down , in last week's gardening program on b.b.c. 2 we were told never to cut down the leaves. I was taught this over sixty years ago!
"What do I do with the seed heads.Can i Propogate them?"
I found that they seem to self seed very well. Too well, perhaps, as I had to treat most of the seedlings as weeds in the limited space that is our garden.
